Weight of Car

Post by drehabz69 »

I wanna know why MX-3 weighs so much more then a civic... my weight is listed (factory) at a little over 3kLBS (I dont know how), while a stock civics weight is around 1800LB. Appearance wise the civic seams to be so much larger and heavier. Do the engines in the MX-3's weigh that much more??<P>------------------<BR>Rather ride d!ck then ride a CIVIC!!

Mine weighs under 2400 dry w/o a driver.<P>And no civic weighs 1800 stock. Unless stock includes no interior. I know the lightest 5th gen Civic [Civic CX hatchback] was 2095# or so. <P>------------------<BR>David Coleman- <B><I>Moderator</B></I><BR><A HREF="http://www.PinkMX-3.com" TARGET=_blank>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS Special Edition</A><BR><B><I>Why get clear tail lights when only Geo Metros are gonna see them?</I></B>
